High Score Movie Life

Chapter 40 Love
"Let's go, I have a date."

Mr. Oti adjusted his suit according to his habit. He was very concerned about his clothes, because the suit can confuse others and make him look like a normal person.

In this era, clothing was used to distinguish high and low, as well as civilization and barbarism.

He Shen picked up his cane and followed the little black man to the red light district of the city.

Under the streetlight, a tall, plump white woman hugged Mr. Otty when she saw him. The huge height difference made the scene very disharmonious.

"Philamina, this is Mr. Benjamin." The black people introduced each other.

The tall lady lowered her head and greeted Heshen: "Nice to meet you, sir."

"It would be my pleasure, ma'am."

Then Mr. Oti spread his hands towards Heshen and said helplessly: "You also saw that we are parting here. Do you know the way back?"

"Take the St. Charles Trolley to Napoleon Station."

Seeing that the two were about to have sex, He Shen immediately explained: "Hey, Mr. Oti, we are friends and we want to share the blessings."

The little black man stopped, held out five fingers and said, "I have been married five times and have never shared a woman with anyone. I'm sorry."

"Then you should find me another woman. I'll treat you next time." He Shen had to be shameless because the system task asked him to do so.

"I'm sorry, the two bottles I just drank have already spent all the US dollars I have."

After saying that, Mr. Oti put his arm around the tall lady's waist and turned to leave.

Depend on!Bad start.

In order not to miss the tram, He Shen used all his strength to finally catch the last train.

Back in the nursing home he began to worry about money, even though he was only seven years old now.

How to make money is a difficult question.

It can be said that the United States is now prosperous and enjoying the dividends after World War I.

But the people are still in dire straits. Due to the unprecedented prosperity of the stock market, the gap between the rich and the poor is gradually widening, but the capitalists cannot see this. They are blinded by the economic growth and begin to expand production capacity frantically.

The actual situation is that the poor cannot afford it, and the rich have already bought enough, so a large number of products begin to accumulate, resulting in overcapacity.

If overcapacity occurs in many industries, the overall price level will continue to fall, forming a strong deflation.

Once it continues to develop, banks will accumulate a large number of non-performing assets and defaulted loans, and ultimately expand financial risks.

The impact on He Shen is that he can't find any job now, not even picking up garbage.

one year later.

He still couldn't lose his virginity, and carrying a gun and wandering around was really not what he wanted.

"As players complete only one mission within a year, they will receive a participation award."

"Task reward: 100 US dollars."

After saying that, a Franklin fell in front of me.

He Shen picked up the 100 US dollars on the ground, with mixed feelings in his heart. The system was trying to comfort me or mocking me.

No matter how you have the initial capital, it doesn't matter how you make money.

Relying on the one hundred dollars, He Shen started a hawker business, such as setting up a stall to sell small commodities, and helping people deal with tobacco and alcohol in private.

When he earned a thousand dollars, he immediately changed careers and started a homemade barbecue stall at the roadside pier, selling some kebabs and grilled scallops.

Because of his stooped appearance and old appearance, others nicknamed him "the old man and the sea"!
In this way, He Shen earned US$[-] in just five years.

When the system beep sounded again, He Shen was spreading garlic paste on the scallops on the barbecue rack.

"Now releasing the third side mission: First Love."

"Task notes: Everyone has a first love, which is a kind of ignorant feeling. When you get old, you will feel itchy in your heart when you recall all the past."

"Mission requirement: Wait until Daisy says 'I love you' to you! That's when the mission is completed. Don't force it during the period."

He Shen knew that the love of his life was coming.

So he greeted Jack next to him: "Hey, little Jack, come here and help me!"

"Okay, sir."

Little Jack is He Shen's hired help, a white young man who is just 16 years old this year and four years older than He Shen. However, he is not as tall as He Shen, so he respects He Shen very much.Usually I help him clear the tables and benches, and serve food and give "Coke" to the guests.

Heshen's customers are all sailors, coachmen, and loaders. Because barbecue is economical and delicious, diners after get off work will have a drink here.

"Little Jack, how long have you been with me?" He Shen asked casually.

"Sir, it's been two years."

"Want to learn how to grill?"

Jack was immediately pleasantly surprised, "Of course!"

He Shen took the oil brush and began to teach: "Follow me now, and this barbecue stall will be yours from now on."

"Why?" Little Jack looked puzzled, wondering why the old man gave up this profitable business.

"I'm too old to do this."

He Shen has already practiced lying to such an extent that he can deceive young men with ease.

Little Jack was sentimental at first, then showed gratitude, "Sir, thank you, I will visit you from time to time."

"One more thing, have you seen that Mr. Barton?" He Shen pointed at a middle-aged white man.

"I've noticed a long time ago that it's a bit strange to come to a place like this while dressed so well!"

"In the future, he is not allowed to collect money again!"

"why?"

He Shen did not explain, but stared at him fiercely.

"Okay, sir, I promise you."

Boy, you are still young, some things cannot be changed since birth, you can only accept it!
After dealing with the barbecue stall, Heshen began to prepare for love, starting with dressing up.

If I said "I like you" to a little girl like this, I would probably get beaten.

Then there are gifts. A satisfying gift will do twice the result with half the effort.

1930 Thanksgiving.

Today happens to be Sunday.

And Sunday is the day for family visits.

The nursing home prepared dinner for everyone, and He Shen dressed up specially, wearing a white shirt and tie, trousers and leather shoes.

"Hey, Benjamin, you look younger and younger." A wrinkled but elegant old woman joked.

"Of course, Mrs. Fowler."

"what are you waiting for?"

Waiting for your granddaughter, of course Heshen didn't dare to say that.

"You don't even use crutches anymore, when did it happen?"

"A year ago, ma'am."

"Oh, God, I didn't notice."

Suddenly, a clear female voice came from the distance, "Grandma, look at me!"

He Shen turned his head and looked, and was immediately surprised. A little girl wearing a white skirt and a cloak was dancing there.

The girl's appearance was so pure that He Shen did not dare to blaspheme her.

"It's so beautiful! Come here and introduce me to you."

"Benjamin, this is my granddaughter Daisy." Mrs. Fowler began to introduce each other.

"By the way, Benjamin, what's your last name?"

"Barton!" He Shen stared at the little girl in front of him and replied without turning his head.

Those blue eyes are so charming.
